I haven’t read the whole thread so excuse me if I am addressing something you have talked about.
They are good looking dogs. the black spots are probbly Chow. My lab looks similar except black and he has the black spots from being a chow mix.
Have you thought that someone might be looking for them? If someone abandoned them, then God lead them to you and they are lucky to find your family. Maybe not let the kids get too attached in case the owners come looking for them, just in case they are lost.
In all the years we've lived out here no one has come looking for a lost pet. We have a little country store in our area and everybody knows everybody and their kids. When a stray turns up we always go there and ask if anyone's lost a pet.

Too late.
